Sugar Blues!For each 12 ounce sugar sweetened beverage you drink you INCREASE your risk of developing Diabetes by 15% a recent meta-analysis pooled data study of 300,000 people has shown.Vasanti Malik of Harvard has done this recent study. In another study of 88,000 nurses followed for 24 years it was found that those that consumed two sugar sweetened beverages a day increased their risk of heat attack by 35%. Metabolic syndrome has an increased risk of 20% with daily consumption of 2 or more sugar sweetened beverages daily. As you know metabolic syndrome is a constellation of three or more of the following, 1. Diabetes,2. High cholesterol (triglycerides),3. low HDL,4. High blood pressure, 5. increased waist circumference. Three of these and your struggling with metabolic syndrome and all it's complications. In a Danish study those that drank a liter or more of sugar sweetened beverages doubled their muscle and liver fat as well as other visceral fat deposits. This study suggests that diet with high amounts of fructose-containing sugars could lead to an increased liver fat ( fatty liver). As fatty liver develops there is and increase in Insulin resistance as the insulin receptors are down regulated. As this happen the insulin looses its ability to lead the circulating glucose into the cells that need it and a high blood sugar is maintained.So you may want to rethink ordering any of the following at your favorite restaurant or grocery store:1.

Yes Caffeine is the treatment of choice for apnea of prematurity. Very low birth weight infants (VLBW) were ramdomly assigned to receive caffeine therapy or placebo. Those who received caffeine therapy had lower rates of cerebral palsy and cognitive delay at 18 and 21 months of age. However at 60 months neonatal caffeine therapy was no longer assciated with a significantly improved rate of survival without disability in children with very low birth weights. This study at age 5 reports results of detailed assesment of motor function, cognition, behavior, general health, hearing and vision after the study paticipants had reached the age of 5. In Summary the neonatal caffeine therapy in VLBW infants (Preterm) showed the benefits on the rate of survival without disability at 18 months were attenuated during child development. The rates of coognitve impaiment were lower at 5 years than at 18 months, suggesting cognitive delay during the second year of life may not be a lasting outcome after very preterm birth.JAMA, january 18, 2012--Vol 307, no.3-------------------------------------------HOSPITAL MEDICINE:Symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) after total knee replacement (TPKA) and after total or partial hip arthroplasty (TPHA) are propposed patient safty indicators.

Terrorist from within!

66% of our population is overweight or obese!For year doctors have suggested people to loose weight and provide no direction on how to do it. This has lead to confusion and in some real damage has occurred by the metabolic changes that led to weight loss from 2 sources- fat and muscle. Our program prevents muscle loss since this will leave no way to maintain your achieved weight loss. The muscle mass must remain intact as the metabolic drive to keep the engine burning and of couse provide the strength needed to get through your day. If muscle is lost while getting to your goal weight (BMI 24.9), chronic fatigue rapidly sets in even with what was a normal activity.Here is a clip of the Surgeon General of the USA with his thoughts on Obesity:http://youtu.be/7iBHm5zji_
